Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

“Is this kind of thing… really necessary?”

"No. Generally speaking, it is definitely not a good thing. If a country does this, it may be looked down upon by the whole world. However, this is an exception..."

“But the owner’s registration will be completed soon, right?”

“Yes. There are no special obstacles. Unless it is a very serious matter, there will be no situation where registration cannot be carried out.”

"So I said, there was an exception." Jacqueline said with a self-deprecating smile. It might just be a memory, but the distant look just now was not fake.

Xu Zhen really wanted to ask what happened, but Jaklun spoke first: "Changing the subject, Xu Zhen, I am very interested in you. You have an extraordinary talent to be able to tame three such rare monsters."

Jacqueline's eyes flickered sharply, as if he was observing something intently. Xu Zhen and the others all tensed up at the same time, their expressions stiffening.

Jaklun didn't notice the strange atmosphere and continued to talk normally. Facing Jaklun's extremely enthusiastic and incessant talk, Xu Zhen and the others could only stare blankly.

(From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be a bad guy…)

At least Xu Zhen intuitively felt that Jacqueline was not the kind of bad person who would cause them harm. He once suspected whether this was a deception, but seeing how serious he was, it seemed too sincere.

(Come to think of it, I didn’t ask Jacquelen about his situation at all… never mind.)

His original aptitude, and the mystery of why he couldn't register with the guild. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care, but it wasn't necessary to know. The main reason was that he really wasn't that interested.

At this moment, Jaklun seemed to calm down a little, adjusted his disordered breathing, and regained his composure. Then, he looked at Xu Zhen again, and a smile appeared on his face: "Maybe you will rewrite the history of monster messengers."

“That’s… a bit exaggerated, isn’t it?”

"That's not necessarily true. You also know that in this world, the status of a monster user is very low, right?"

In response to Jacqueline's question, Xu Zhen recalled what Culler once said: "They are treated like useless people."

"Yes. Many people have suffered in tears in the past."

Jacqueline's eyes wavered, as if he was worried about something.

"The fact that humans tame monsters and bring them with them is astonishing enough."

“Having said that, I didn’t plan on doing anything special.”

"I don't expect you to do anything. I just want to tell you that there is such a possibility."

"...I understand." Xu Zhen seemed relieved and replied with a smile. Jacqueline also had a gentle smile on his face, but suddenly his expression became serious.

Xu Zhen and the others noticed the change in his mood and couldn't help but make a swallowing sound in their throats. At this time, Jacqueline spoke up: "By the way, do you know a man in a burgundy robe?"

"Wine red... Oh, I think I met this guy in the Kingdom of Shuter."

A mysterious person suddenly appeared not long after leaving Culler.

As far as Xu Zhen and the others could remember, they had never seen him again since then, and had almost forgotten his existence until he was mentioned. In fact, even Lati only vaguely remembered that person.

"The man's name is Lysac. He is an old acquaintance of mine."

"Acquaintances? Are you fellow adventurers?"

“No, sadly that word doesn’t apply to my relationship with him. If we had gone down different paths, it probably would have.”

"Hey……"

Facing Jacqueline's wry smile, Xu Zhen just responded perfunctorily. Although his words were vague, Xu Zhen felt that a lot of things must have happened.

With an expression that seemed to sense a crisis, Jaklun said to Xu Zhen: "Lesak is also interested in you. Although it seems that he will not take any action now, please be careful."

“Got it. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jacqueline's expression returned to his usual smile. At this moment, Xu Zhen seemed to suddenly remember something and showed a thoughtful expression: "Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you properly yet. It seems that you saved me and Lati, thank you very much."

"Uh...thank you very much too!"

"No, no. I just hope you are safe... By the way..."

Jaklun's smile suddenly changed. He stared at Xu Zhen with an expression as if he was looking at something strange and said, "To tell you the truth, to be honest, I really thought Xu Zhen was hopeless. Because you were seriously injured. I thought that even if you survived, you would have some sequelae."

Xu Zhen and Lati widened their eyes after hearing this.

"Wow, I thought it was because of that medicine..."

"That medicine only helps to heal the wounds of the body. It definitely cannot cure abnormalities in the brain or nerves. If you are fine, it means that Xu Zhen is very strong."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen seemed to have thought of something and began to nod: "Speaking of which, I have been very strong since I was a child. I have never caught a cold or been sick. Even if I fall and get injured, it will heal quickly and naturally."

"Uh... Master? I think this is very abnormal." Leti said with a helpless smile.

It seems that something is really wrong. Xu Zhen crossed his arms and tilted his head to think. At this time, he heard a subtle laugh. He looked up and saw Jacqueline putting his hand to his mouth with a sly smile.

“It seems like you have a lot of secrets. That’s really interesting.”

"That's a bit scary... But then again, it seems like you're the one with a lot of secrets, right?"

"Haha, I feel helpless when I say that."

Apparently, because of all the words that had been said before, Jacqueline was speechless.

Although there are still many unclear points from Xu Zhen's perspective, for some reason, Xu Zhen firmly believes that his words are true. Although there is no specific reason, he cannot deny it. In fact, Xu Zhen's interest in him has even deepened.

At this time, Jaklun suddenly seemed to remember something and started talking again. "Speaking of which, the monsters around here have not appeared yet, and I haven't revealed the reason yet."

"Ah, I forgot about it. I completely forgot about being saved by you, Jacqueline."

"Me too... Well, is this also your method?"

Jaklun said to Xu Zhen with a somewhat crisis-filled expression: "I just sprinkled some scent that can prevent monsters from approaching. But, to be honest, this effect will not last too long."

The moment Xu Zhen heard this, he looked at Jacqueline with a puzzled look: "So you are a skilled pharmacist... No way?"

"Ah, no. I'm just a monster researcher. The scent's effects are about to wear off, so let's end this topic here."

Jaklun jumped down from the rock he was sitting on and said as he walked away, "Then I'll take my leave. I hope to see you again somewhere."

"Ah? Hey, wait a minute..." Xu Zhen really wanted to call him when a big gust of dust suddenly rolled up.

In just two or three seconds, the dust subsided. When they opened their eyes, they saw that Jakren had completely disappeared. They looked around but could not find any trace of him.

“…It really disappeared without a trace.”

"He was so elusive. He just left like that."

“Squeak.”

“Ming-ming.”

The cool breeze of the sunset brushed Xu Zhen's cheeks as he stood there in a daze. The sunset in the west was fiery and bright, and the surroundings began to gradually darken. The wild monsters also began to slowly approach. It seemed that the scent effect that Jakren mentioned was gradually disappearing.

Although there are no signs that the monsters are launching direct attacks, the danger level is undoubtedly increasing as night falls, and the monsters' activities will become more frequent.

Lati smiled and said to Xu Zhen in her usual bright voice: "Master, should we pack up and go back?"

"Ah, yes, it's getting dark."

They returned to the capital carrying a large amount of collected medicinal and poisonous herbs.
